Our youngest grandsons, Jacob and Henry, are taking part in the Alder Hey Summer Challenge by completing 43 miles during the summer holidays. Whether they’re walking, scooting, running, or cycling, they’re determined to reach their target while raising money for a hospital that holds a very special place in our family’s hearts.
Alder Hey has supported our family through some of our most challenging times. Most recently, they saved our granddaughter’s life when she developed septic shock and spent 54 days in their care. Since infancy, she has also undergone several heart surgeries at Alder Hey, where she has always received exceptional treatment and support. Last year, Jacob himself underwent surgery there, and other members of our family, as well as children of close friends, have also benefited from the outstanding care they provide.
The compassion, dedication, and expertise shown by everyone at Alder Hey is something we will always be grateful for. This challenge is our way of giving back to the incredible people who make such a difference to the lives of children and families every day.
If you are able to support Jacob and Henry, we would be truly grateful. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help Alder Hey continue delivering life-saving care and support, while also motivating the boys as they work towards completing their 43-mile challenge.
Thank you so much for your generosity and support.
We’ll be sharing regular updates as Jacob and Henry progress through their miles and get closer to their goal!
